Not quite an H-bomb dropped on the environmentalist zeitgeist, "Pandora's Promise" does provoke those who have long opposed nuclear power to at least reconsider it, presenting its arguments in a green light and asking the question: Can one be committed to the environment and still be against nuclear power? Most issue documentaries are propaganda, and Robert Stone's latest is a formidable sales pitch for nukes, yet the film's points are well-reasoned and urgent.
